-
For making a port? A succulent Japanese port of a 30 year old game? Unhand me, sir!
This is Nintendo manifest!

Nice try, diddy
HEY. Diddy Kong does not deserve that slander.

Not just ultrawide support, but also interpolated frames for super smooth frame rate.
What is that?

Might as well link to it:

You need to supply your own ROM of the correct version.I will honestly never understand why people link shit articles instead
-
And Nintendo has not yet sued because…?
Well I think for one, you need to supply your own rom so it doesn't contain any Nintendo stuff?
-
What is that?
In a nutshell, interpolated frames are basically just extra generated frames that go between the frames outputted by the video game itself. They're used to combat things like motion blur, and to make animations look smoother.

I played it on my modded Switch, had to overclock it just to keep a stable 30fps. I hope we get a vulkan renderer in the future.

POV: you ported an old Nintendo game

You never heard of the banana oil freakoffs?

Does this differ from emulators with which you have to supply a rom? I thought they sued for that too

Impressive to see that the software can distinguish between a legal and an illegal ROM file

They might be former users of FARK, where submitting stories didn't allow duplicate links? And so you would see the top article in the aggregator frequently being blog links and some right weird 'news' websites.
Lemmy has the opposite problem, where the same link can be posted again and again even on the same instance, of course.

lol sarcasm aside, it actually can't. This port is being developed by HarbourMasters, the same people behind Ship of Harkinian and 2 Ship 2 Harkinian (PC ports of OoT and Majora's Mask, for the unaware.)

PC gamers: Look what Nintendo needs to mimic a fraction of our power.
-
Nintendo cease and disist in 3...2....1....
Nope. Ship of Harkinian and 2 Ship 2 Harkinian have been around for years with no issues from Nintendo, and this port is being developed by HarbourMasters, the same people behind those ports. It's not going anywhere anytime soon.
-
Man, MK64 already had a pretty high FOV as it was, and now with ultra wide support lol
As someone who uses a 65" LG OLED as my primary monitor and sits 5ft away, the FoV can never be high enough in nearly every game.

Yeah, I just found the article really annoying at constantly talking about legal roms...
-

IDK but Ship of Harkinian has been around for years, and Nintendo has left that one alone too. This MK64 port is being developed by the same team (HarbourMasters).

You can verify you have dumped a supported copy of the game by using the SHA-1 File Checksum Online at https://www.romhacking.net/hash/.
It's so sad that Windows still doesn't ship with an easy-to-use hash toolkit
